In addition, you can configure the network by entering a hostname, set up users and passwords, encrypt the home directory, configure the clock, and partition the disks using normal or encrypted LVM (Logical Volume Manager). When installing the Ubuntu Server operating system, you will be asked to choose the language that will be used during the entire installation process, select your location, and configure the keyboard.
It is also important to mention that users will be able to rescue a broken system, run a memory test, or start an existing operating system installed on the first disk drive directly from the boot prompt. The boot prompt of this OS is very important, as it allows users to install the operating system on a single machine, or deploy multiple server installations using Canonical’s MAAS (Metal as a Service) technology. The system is officially supported on the 64-bit (amd64), 32-bit (i386), PowerPC (PPC), PowerPC64 Little-Endian (PPC64el) and 64-bit Mac (amd64) hardware platforms. It is understandable that there’s no live session, because a true server distribution comes without a graphical desktop environment. It is available for download as installable-only, CD-size hybrid ISO images that can be written to blank CD discs or USB flash drives. Distributed as installable-only ISO images for numerous hardware platforms My setting with virtualbox are 3d Acceleration on and 256MB Graphics memory (I have a Nvidia GeForce GT240 1GB video card) and it does run with the 3d accelaration turned on in unity.īut if I disable the 3D Acceleration in Virtualbox and save the vm when I restore it restores properly but off course like that ubuntu is unusable slow.Ubuntu Server is an open source distribution of Linux that provides users with a sophisticated server operating system based on the world’s most popular free OS, Ubuntu Linux. I also tried installing a clean Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.1 32 bits and Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.1 64 bits but it still fails to restore properly with both images.Īlso tried installing XUbuntu Desktop 14.04.1 32 bits and it does restore properly. I've tried the latest VirtualBox test versions 4.3.17-96342 and extension pack version 4.3.17-96238 but it still fails to restore properly. Virtualbox works ok its only the ubuntu vm.
The problem is that when I save the state (not turn-off but save) of the vm and then when I restart it the ubuntu vm freezes up, sometimes with a black screen and sometimes showing the desktop but you can't click on anything leaving me the only option to turn of the vm. My set-up is as a host Windows 7 64 sp1 with VirtualBox 4.3.16r95972 and as a guest with Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.1 32 bits and Guest Additions installed.
